My sincere thanks to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read Get Lost with You by Sophie Sullivan. I give my unbiased opinion of it in the following review.

I love a childhood crush romance and Get Lost with You by Sophie Sullivan is such a sweet example. Jilly had a huge crush on her brother's friend Levi. She even threw caution to the wind when she was 15 and tried to kiss him just before he was to leave for culinary school. That didn't turn out too well, but what she didn't know was that he wanted to kiss her just as much. Fast forward 15 years and Levi has come home to Smile, Michigan and the feelings are still mutual. Is the time finally right for them?

This was seriously so cute. I genuinely liked both characters and could easily picture in my mind what they were like in high school and in the present as they finally got to find out what it would be like to be each other's person. It was also fun to see the rest of Jilly's family and how the lodge was progressing since the end of Beckett and Presley's book. I can't wait to see what happens next. I recommend this to anyone who likes a sweet, low steam, small-town romance between two people who are already friends. Think Hallmark vibes.
This book releases February 11, 2025.

Thank St. Martin Press and NetGalley for this advanced reader copy. All thought are my own.

This was a great fun light read. I love it when the MMC can cook and man Levi could cook. Loved Levi and Ollie’s chemistry. I respected Jill so much for the love she shows her family and her community. I now need to read about Beckett and Presley.

We’re finally back at Get Lost Lodge in Smile, Michigan for Jillian’s book! I was so excited to see that Jillian (one of my favorite characters in Love, Naturally) was getting her own story and (hopefully) a happy ending!


Jillian Keller is a single mom trying to make it in her small town. Between parenting her daughter, Ollie, helping her brother run his wilderness lodge, and working with her freelance clients as an accountant, she doesn’t have time for most things, much less herself. Levi Bright, a once head chef in Vermont and childhood best friend to the Keller brothers (Jillian’s older brothers), is back in his hometown after a family emergency. Sparks immediately fly between Levi and Jillian as fate (and the entire population of Smile) conspire to thrust the two together.

I always enjoy Sophie Sullivan’s books! Each time I read one, I smile the entire way through. Her books are so wholesome, but the characters she creates feel completely real.

The whole time I was reading, I kept wishing Get Lost Lodge was a real place! I loved the small town of Smile so much and the cameos of all my favorite characters from Love, Naturally. I already cannot wait for Grayson’s book!

If you’re looking a cute rom-com with strong sibling relationships, a kind hearted hero AND heroine, and small-town, hallmark vibes that will make you laugh? Look no further than this book. This one is out in February! Preorder or request from your library ASAP.

Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin’s Griffin for the ARC!

Unfortunately, I DNF this ARC at 25%. I enjoy small town stories and second chances, but the main characters in this novel (who are around age 30) seem immature despite their ages and life experience. The beginning of the novel is all build-up, but not executed particularly well. Between the "I just want to touch her, she smells so good" and "I wish I could touch him," there's not a lot of substance or chemistry. I felt more intrigued by the family relationships and the career decisions than the romantic plot at the center of this novel. I hate not finishing an ARC, but this book was just not for me.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to review this book.

This second chance romance (ish), brothers best friend, single mom romance was very sweet. Sometimes a little too sweet! The conflicts felt a little reaching and unfinished. And when the characters get together when the book is 30% done, you know the miscommunication trope is coming in hot.

Jillian had returned to Smile to rebuild her life following her divorce. She had established herself as an important member of the community and a worthy business partner at the Get Lost Lodge. Everything was going according to her very well thought out plan until Levi returned to town reawakening old feelings will she follow her head or her heart?

It was great to return to Smile and the world of the Kellers. This time, the focus was on Jillian. She was a single mom who had been betrayed by her ex-husband. It took her years to recover, but she was finally in a good place.

Levi returned home following many grueling years establishing himself in the culinary world. He enjoyed that success but was looking to find a position that allowed him to create amazing food and have work-life balance, and he wants to do it in Smile. He also came home to help his father as he recuperates from surgery. It's his opportunity to try and mend the rift between them and reestablish his relationship with his father.

Levi also seemed excited to reestablish something with Jilly. She was his best friend's little sister and therefore off limits, but now they are older, and Levi still found a spark and interest when he was reunited with Jilly. I love second chances and although they never had their full romance back in their teens, this was their chance to finally act on those feelings.

Levi was such a wonderful love interest for Jilly. Her husband was toxic and cruel. Levi adored every part of Jilly, just the way she was. He also adored that little spit-fire of a kid of hers, Ollie. There were some super sweet moments between Ollie and Levi that melted my heart.

I know I am in the minority, but I like my books low drama/angst, so Sullivan's books work well for me. She grabs me with the setting, characters, and warm-fuzzy family focus. I adore the community of the Get Lost Lodge and all the fun outdoor antics that take place. I was not a fan of the third act breakup but it led to a great makeup.

Overall, another fun and sweet romance, and I am eager to see who Sullivan pairs with the eldest brother because he's a tough one.

This was a cute story about family, small towns, relationships, and taking a second chance on love. I enjoyed the characters and dynamic between the characters, especially Jilly, Ollie, and Levi. The obstacles that interfere with Jilly and Levi getting their second chance (after the missed opportunity in high school) are realistic and understandable, not feeling contrived. The story has plenty of sweet and humorous moments.

What an adorable second chance romance! Jilly and Levi grew up together and she always had the biggest crush on him. Only issue was he was her older brothers best friend and was moving away for college, and at the time it didn't seem like he was into her. Fast forward many years later and he is back in her life but it looks a little different now for both of them. That tiny childhood crush never went away, and Jilly wasn't the only one who had one. I adored watching their story unfold, the small town setting and revisiting characters from book one just made this book even more amazing. Looking forward for more from Sophie Sullivan!

Thank you so much NetGalley for this ARC.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this book!

What a cute romcom! I really enjoyed this book and had such a hard time putting it down. I enjoyed the writing style. The characters worked so well together and the plot was great.

Get Lost with You is a fun and sweet second chance, small-town romance. Levi is a pretty great book boyfriend who needs to help Jilly find a way to trust him. Her devotion to her daughter and memories of her terrible ex-husband are serving to hold her back from pursuing romantic relationships. I enjoyed watching their romance unfold within the backdrop of the lodge she runs with her brothers. Family is a huge theme in this novel along with the budding romance! Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the ARC of this novel.

I loved Beckett and Presley's story, so when I heard Jilly was getting her own book, I was so excited!

I loved getting to see more of Jilly and Ollie, and Levi was an absolute delight! I thoroughly enjoyed this, though I felt like there was opportunity to really ramp up the external stakes that was missed!

Regardless, I fell just as hard for Levi as Jilly did and can't wait to see who else from Smile might be featured in the future!

Get Lost With You by Sophie Sullivan is a modern day romance set in the town of Smile. The main character Jillian Keller who is raising her daughter alone and working with her brother’s place, Get Lost Lodge. It is with all this happening that her old crush Levi Bright moves back home.

Being that this is the second book in the series, the town and characters might be known to readers from the first book, but as I read it as a stand alone, I did not find my lack of prior knowledge was not a problem. Jillian’s family are a close family and they all pitch in to help each other. Smile being a small town guarantees that gossip passes quickly through the town, but it also means that many people are willing to pitch in and help. Levi, as a chef, moved back into town thinking of running a food truck and staying in Smile for good.

Levi and Jillian had eyes for each other since they were teenagers. Levi left to go to become a chef. Jillian left, married, had a daughter and returned divorced, heartbroken and less trusting. When Levi moves back, Jillian is hesitant at starting any relationship with Levi. She feels she can only count on herself and she needs to put her daughter first with all decisions. So much happens and yet they still just can’t keep their hands off each other.

Sophie Sullivan was a new author for me and I did enjoy her book. Get Lost With You was a good read.

Cute cover! Great romance story. The writing was delightful with well-crafted characters. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

I absolutely LOVED this book. It has such a sweet storyline with real emotions that help you relate to the characters. The whole concept of childhood sweethearts is near and dear to me since my parents fell in love as next door neighbors. I would fully recommend this read to anyone who loves a happy romance.

I love a second chance romance with the brother’s best friend. I thought this was cute and an easy going read. I too would like to get lost and meet up with my hot chef crush from growing up.

Set in the small town of Smile, Michigan, Jillian (29) and Levi (31) reunite after Levi returns home after leaving 14 years ago. This is a low angst contemporary romance told in third person dual POV. The most angst comes from the scars from her ex-husband and his relationship with his dad. This is the second in a series that focuses on Get Lost resort and the family running it. This book is about a year after the first just before their June opening of the season. Jill's brother Beckett was the hero of the first book, and I'm hoping Grayson gets his chance next!

What I loved:
✨ teenage crush to lovers
✨ brother's best friend
✨ single parent heroine (9 year old daughter with ex)
✨ chef hero
✨ supportive small town characters
✨ navigating changing relationships with parents
✨ a pie shop I wish I could visit
✨ epilogue set at Christmas

4 / 5 stars

Many thanks to NetGalley and the author for providing an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I can rely on Sophie Sullivan’s books to put a smile on my face, to able to lose myself in the romance, love, and devotion of her characters. The love story of Jillian and Levi is heartwarming and tender, sometimes a bit sappy, but always sincere. The town of Smile lives up to its name, and its residents are sometimes grumpy but mostly endearing! I hope I get to return to this lovely setting! I received an early copy of this book from the publisher.

3.5 Stars
Sophie delivered another adorable and heartwarming romance story. We follow our FMC Jillian "Jilly" as she tries to move on from a not so great marriage. Jilly has a 9 year old daughter, Ollie, that she focuses most of her attention on, but really uses an an excuse to not look for her happiness. Enter our MMC Levi, a childhood friend of both of her brothers, and gasp, her childhood crush. He is back in town after leaving at 17 to pursue his culinary dreams. Lucky for them both, the feelings from all those years ago were requited and are still quite strong when they reconnect. This is a wonderful story about starting over and allowing yourself to be happy even when you feel like you've failed. There is also a storyline with Levi and his father about accepting that you have to find a way through familial disagreements and disappointments. Both of them use avoidance as a coping mechanism and have to find a way through that now that Levi is back in town.

The only issue I take with the overall story was the addition of her ex-husband Andrew. I feel like that part of the story didn't need to happen as it really did not add anything to the story except a conflict that was a little overdone. Overall, a very sweet and relatively closed door and clean romance.

Get Lost With You is second chance romance that gives off a cozy hallmark vibe. The combination of relatable characters and their undeniable chemistry, makes this a fun read. This was my first novel by this author, and I can't wait to have the opportunity to read more.


Thank you so much to Sophie & St. Martin's publishing for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book so early.

I LOVED this book!! Sophie Sullivan does such a great job weaving an intriguing story that readers will fall in love with like I did!! I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves romance books!!
